You Can Chat with Google’s New AI-Powered Chrome Browser

Google unveils AI-powered Chrome features to enhance browsing and search experiences.

Conversational history search: Chrome’s new feature leverages Google’s AI to help users find previously visited web pages using natural language queries:

• Users can ask questions like “What was that ice cream shop I looked at last week?” and Chrome will present relevant pages from their browsing history.
• The feature is easily accessible through the history tab and requires no additional setup, but can be turned off in settings if desired.
• Incognito mode browsing data will not be included in the search results, maintaining user privacy.

Tab compare for easy product comparison: This feature, previously seen in Chrome Canary, creates an AI-generated overview of products across open tabs:

• By consolidating product information from multiple tabs into one place, Tab compare simplifies the process of comparing different items.
• This feature aims to streamline online shopping and research experiences for users who often have multiple tabs open while browsing products.

Google Lens integration in Chrome desktop: The Circle to Search functionality, which allows users to quickly get more information about selected objects, is now available on desktop:

• Users can highlight objects on their screen to access additional information, similar to the mobile version of the feature.
• This integration brings the power of Google Lens to the desktop browsing experience, making it easier for users to learn more about the content they encounter.

Rollout timeline: Google has provided details on when users can expect to see these new features in their Chrome browsers:

• The conversational history search feature will be available in the US in the coming weeks.
• Tab compare will roll out in the next few weeks.
• Google Lens in Chrome desktop will be accessible in the next few days.

Enhancing the browsing experience: These new AI-powered features demonstrate Google’s commitment to improving the user experience in Chrome:

• By leveraging conversational AI and computer vision technologies, Google is making it easier for users to find and compare information while browsing.
• The integration of these features into the Chrome browser shows how AI can be applied to streamline everyday tasks and make online experiences more efficient and intuitive.
• As AI continues to advance, we can expect to see more innovative features that enhance the way we interact with the web and access information.
